2025 Lyrics Translation (from “27”)
The lyrics mention a ‘pure, untainted blue,’ symbolizing a longing for clarity and escape. Hakubi describes the struggle of feeling numb, yet hopeful for a future that feels genuine. A key line translates to, ‘This morning glow makes me feel like I can finally be honest.’
Daremo nai daremo shiranai kono machiIn this city where no one exists and no one knows me,
Majiri ke nai ao ga tsuzuiterua pure, untainted blue stretches on forever.
Koko ni itai nanimokamo o suteteI just want to stay here and throw everything else away.
20252025.
Itamu yubisaki wa itsunomanikaBefore I even noticed, my aching fingertips,
Kankaku ga nakunatte iku noslowly started to lose all sensation.
Kokoro mo nanimo kanjinai you niIt’s as if my heart’s becoming numb to everything.
Kokyuu sura naku shita hibi no nakaThroughout these days where I’ve even lost the will to breathe,
Kitto daremo kare mo jibun de irareruI’m sure that everyone is just trying to be themselves.
Tashika na ima o sagashiteruWe’re all searching for a ‘now’ that feels real.
Sunao ni nare sou na morning glowThis morning glow makes me feel like I can finally be honest.
Oshitsubusare sou na mainichi oI wish it could just wash away these daily lives,
Keshi satte kuretara ii nonithat feel like they’re crushing us.
Wasuretakunai no only youI don’t ever want to forget you.
Koko de maigo ni natta naraIf I end up getting lost right here,
Sagashidashite kureru kanaI wonder if you’ll come and find me?
Kono te o tottePlease, just take my hand.
Subete o hanashite shimattaraIf I could just let everything go and speak my mind,
Dore dake raku nandarou kaI wonder how much easier things would be.
Demo bokura no eranda michi waBut the path that we’ve chosen together,
Machigai nanka janai yodefinitely isn’t a mistake.
Dare ni mo mitsukaranai you niSo that no one can ever find us,
Kono sekai o nukedashitelet’s escape from this world together.
Fukaku iki o suikonda naraIf we just take a deep breath…
Sunao ni nare sou na morning glowThis morning glow makes me feel like I can finally be honest.
Seikai no nai kono mainichi niWithin these days that have no ‘right’ answer,
Boku dake no mirai o egaite kuI’ll start painting a future that’s mine alone.
Wasure wa shinai yo only youI’ll never forget you.
Kimi ga maigo ni natta naraIf you’re the one who ends up getting lost,
Sagashidashite miseru karaI promise that I’ll find you.
Sono te o hiite ikouSo let’s keep moving forward, hand in hand.
